First, you will start today's adventure in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

When you enter Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the picturesque scenery along the way seems like a flowing landscape painting. 

Your first adventure is a thrilling ride on the Bailong Elevator, the world’s highest outdoor lift, which takes you swiftly up the cliffside while offering spectacular views of the surrounding sandstone formations. As you ascend, you’ll witness the incredible natural wonders that make Zhangjiajie a true marvel of nature.

At the top, you’ll explore the majestic Tianzi Mountain, known for its majestic peaks rising above a sea of clouds. The towering stone pillars and misty cliffs create a dreamlike scene, as if you’ve entered a celestial realm.

At the end of your journey to Zhangjiajie, your guide and driver will transfer you to Fenghuang's Old City, which is about 80 kilometres away from Zhangjiajie and takes about 1.5 hours by car.

Upon arrival at Furong Ancient Town, night has fallen and a unique  dinner experience is prepared for you. You can stroll to a restaurant  with a breathtaking view of the waterfall, where not only is the food  tantalising, but the natural beauty is an added bonus.

  • Breakfast


After breakfast, you embark on the best journey to explore this ancient town with more than 2,000 years of cultural heritage.

Fenghuang's Old City is best known for the Fenghuang Waterfall that runs through the centre of the town. Its sound is like a whisper, but its momentum is majestic, and the Tujia Fishing Mansions standing between the cliffs above the waterfall are a perfect match, constituting a stirring natural and humanistic picture.

Then, you will stroll on the stone road of Wuli Street, every step seems to step into the long river of history, the ancient houses on both sides and the shops lined on both sides of the street, bringing an ancient and peaceful. You will also visit the Folklore Museum, which displays primitive machines, daily necessities and tools, each of which carries the crystallisation of the Tujia people's hard work and wisdom, and silently tells the story of this nation's long and rich history.

Next, you will go to Xizhou Bronze Pillar, where you can listen to the legendary stories about the past Tusi king and feel the shock and emotion of travelling through time and space.

In the evening, we will also end our visit in Furong Ancient Town and drive back to Zhangjiajie. As we escort you to the airport or railway station, may the wonderful memories of this journey accompany you to your next destination and continue to write your own wonderful chapter.

We had a very memorable experience in Xi’An thanks to the expertise and helpfulness from Norman, who helped us planned our trip, and Waldener, our local tour guide from Into Explore. Norman helped us with the itinerary and bookings of transport and accommodations so it was stress free for me. He asked us our preferences when making the rooms reservation to cater to what we like and recommended the best way and places to explore this city. Our tour guide was also flexible with our schedule so we were able to do what we wanted and working around the weather. We were supposed to go Mt Hua on the 2nd day of our tour but it was forecasted to rain. He switched our itinerary around so we could climb Mt Hua on the 3rd day instead when the rain had stopped. Thank you Into Explore for giving us peace of mind to sit back and enjoy our vacation.

Fue una buena decisión hacer el Circulo de Oro contratando a Into Explore. Una empresa confiable con una muy buena organización siempre pendientes de nuestros gustos y preferencias. La experiencia de la visita a la Gran Muralla los Soldados Terracota, el Jardín Yu y Shanghái fueron muy interesantes y aprendimos mucho sobre las distintas Dinastías y la historia de China.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
